Djakadam confined to ‘walking for a few days’ after fall

Djakadam will not run again before the Timico Gold Cup after sustaining a cut when falling at Cheltenham on Saturday.

Willie Mullins’ charge was sent off the 5-6 favourite for the Grade Two event in what supposed to be his prep run for another tilt at the blue riband in March, where he was second to Coneygree 12 months ago.

He was still travelling well when he crashed out at the 10th fence, with the cut requiring stitches.
